Article Synopsis
- A multicenter study involving 13 pediatric trauma centers examined the effects of a standardized non-operative management (NOM) approach for children with blunt traumatic pancreatic laceration and ductal injury between 2018-2022.
- Results showed that most patients recovered quickly with a low-fat diet starting after a median of 4 days, and hospital stays averaging 8 days, while complications like cyst development were significantly reduced compared to a historical variable management cohort.
- The findings suggest that using a consistent NOM protocol can improve patient outcomes and that pancreatic ascites at presentation might indicate a higher risk of developing pseudocysts in these cases.
Background: The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of traumatic injuries, factors associated with mortality, and need for pediatric trauma surgery involvement for drowning and near-drowning events in children.
Materials And Methods: An institutional review board-approved, retrospective chart review was performed at three American College of Surgeons-verified Pediatric Trauma Centers (2011-2014). Patients with International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, codes or E-codes for fatal-nonfatal drowning, fall into water, accidental drowning, or submersion were included.
Effectiveness of dexmedetomidine use in general anesthesia to prevent postoperative shivering: a systematic review.

January 2016
Background: Postanesthetic shivering remains a significant source of distress following general anesthesia. Despite numerous studies investigating pharmacologic prophylaxis for postanesthetic shivering, no gold standard medication has been identified. Prophylactic dexmedetomidine administration has been examined as a possible preventative treatment modality for postanesthetic shivering; however its effectiveness has not been established.
